A loss involving a split pressurized supply pipe may reach wall cavities, ceiling insulation and subfloors. Common calls involve frozen pipe burst, burst pipe in wall, and burst copper pipe. The visible wet spot rarely shows the full path.
The source of a leak and its damage are separate jobs. A qualified trade fixes the source, and a water damage crew dries the structure.
